Abstract/SummaryThe electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) underpins and informs everyday life. Foregrounding particular portions of the EMS (radio, gamma), geographers theorise spectrum as infrastructure, territory/resource to manage, non-human and material. Extending this, we think across spectrum while bringing it into novel dialogue with feminist geopolitics. Pursuing a feminist geopolitics of the EMS, we draw on examples of spectrum-reliant technologies (5G,drones) to outline a three-part agenda. Exploring EMS and the body, we reflect on diverse bodily interactions with spectrum. In more-than-human encounters, we attend to multiple non-human relations with spectrum. In Living with EMS, we explore EMS at home and everyday spectrum practices.
